Lot Information
Primary Buy Framework Agreement and Balancing Gas Contract (Primary Buy) Lot No: 1
This Lot (Lot 1) relates to Balancing Gas Contracts concerning the purchase of gas by the NI Network Operators.For this Lot 1, there are two types of contracts (for Balancing Gas Buy Contracts) being: 1A NIBP Primary Balancing Gas Buy (with physical delivery via the Moffat IP); and 1B Locational (Moffat) Primary Balancing Gas Buy. The total max daily requirement has been estimated for the purchase of Balancing Gas, which may be met from this Lot 1 or Lot 2, has been estimated at 8 667 000 kWh. There maybe more than one Balancing Gas Contract awarded in order to meet the total requirement, with each Balancing Gas Buy Contract having a minimum quantity of 5 000 000 kWh. Additional information: As PTL has reserved the option to further extend the Lot 1 Primary Buy Framework Agreement and Primary Balancing Gas Buy Contracts, in certain circumstances these arrangements have potential to continue for a period of up to 2 years. As such the duration in II.2.7 has been completed on the basis these arrangements continue for the full 2 year period
Options: While it is envisaged that the Lot 1 Primary Buy Framework Agreement and Balancing Gas Buy Contract (Primary Buy) will terminate automatically at 5:00 on 1st October 2023, PTL shall have the option to extend the term of the Lot 1 Primary Buy Framework Agreement (and Balancing Gas Buy Contracts - Primary Buy) to 5:00 on 1st October 2024, by serving notice on each Framework Member at any time prior to 1st October 2023, if PTL's tender process for the award of a framework agreement for the purchase of Balancing Gas for the NI Network for the gas year 1st October 2023 to 1st October 2024 is unsuccessful and it is unable to appoint any successful bidders. PTL intends to award places on the Framework Agreements until the relevant quantity requirement (for buy or sell of gas, of 8,667,000 kWh in all cases) has been met. In addition PTL may, for the purposes of operational resilience, choose to offer further places on the Framework Agreements. Since each Tenderer must offer a minimum quantity in their tenders, it is on this basis that the potential maximum number of participants to the framework agreement has been envisaged as 3. However, PTL reserves the right to place additional participants on the Framework Agreements if it considers that appropriate.
Secondary Buy Framework Agreement and Balancing Gas Contract (Secondary Buy) Lot No: 2This Lot (Lot 2) relates to Balancing Gas Contracts concerning the (secondary) purchase of gas by the NI Network Operators (NIBP Secondary balancing gas buy Contract (with physical delivery via the north south interconnection point)).

It is envisaged there will be a maximum of one contract in Lot 2 awarded with a minimum quantity requirement of 5,000,000 kWh. Additional information: As GNI(UK) has reserved the option to further extend the Lot 2 Secondary Buy Framework Agreement & Secondary Balancing Gas Buy Contracts, in certain circumstances these arrangements have potential to continue for a period of up to 2 years. As such, the estimated value in II.2.6 and duration in II.2.7 have been completed on the basis these arrangements continue for the full 2 year period.
Options: While it is envisaged that the Lot 2 Secondary Buy Framework Agreement and Balancing Gas Secondary Buy Contracts will terminate automatically at 5:00 on 1 October 2023, GNI(UK) shall have the option to extend the term of the Lot 2 Secondary Buy Framework Agreement (and Balancing Gas Secondary Buy Contracts) to 5:00 on 1 October 2023, by serving notice to the Framework Member at any time prior to 1 October 2023, if PTL and GNI(UK)'s tender process for the award of a framework agreement for the (primary or secondary buy) purchase of Balancing Gas for the NI Network for the gas year 1 October 2023 to 1 October 2024 is unsuccessful and it is unable to appoint a successful bidder
